Red Rising

i feel...weird about this. i love the idea and the beginning and the set-up and concept and world of this story. it had a lot that i liked. but the writing was direct and completely telling to the point of ridiculousness. it almost felt like a robot was translating a movie into writing. it was so on-the-nose and to-the-point it became tedious and displeasurable to read. also it was a little too close to the hunger games for comfort. but i still want to read the rest of the series.
